The Financial Outlook for Personal Investors: Markets and the Autumn Statement
Victoria Scholar of Interactive Investor takes Simon Rose through the main points of the Chancellor's Autumn Statement. Investors will want to take note of the changes to dividends and Capital Gains Tax. She points out that market reaction was fairly muted although the electricity companies' shares were incredibly volatile. As so often, these days, of course, much of what Jeremy Hunt had to say had already been well signposted in advance.

The Bigger Picture: The Autumn Statement, the failing NHS & the ideology of nationalism

The Bigger Picture: The Autumn Statement, the failing NHS & the ideology of nationalism
Professor Tim Evans of Middlesex University says the Autumn Statement has no vision, will make a difficult situation worse and will be hated by Conservative voters. He predicts that Labour will outflank the Tories as a moderate, pro-business party and that there will be no more than 100-150 conservative MPs. He feels the NHS, with falling output and productivity despite extra funding, is in uncharted waters with Labour calling for greater partnership with the private sector. And he admires Gordon Brown's insights on nationalism, which is weaponising trade to the detriment of us all.

The Business of Film: Black Panther 2 – Wakanda Forever, Enola Holmes 2 & Spirited

The Business of Film: Black Panther 2 – Wakanda Forever, Enola Holmes 2 & Spirited
James Cameron-Wilson looks at the UK box office where a 119% jump is entirely down to the release of Black Panther 2: Wakanda Forever with Letitia Wright in the lead. Despite good performances, he found it OTT and overlong. Other films suffered heavily from its amazing £12.4m weekend take. On Netflix, James enjoyed the rollicking yarn that is Enola Holmes 2 with Millie Bobby Brown. He found Christmas Carol knockoff Spirited, with Will Ferrell and Ryan Reynolds (both paid $20m), squirm-inducing, mawkish and crude.

The Financial Outlook For Personal Investors: Dividend traps and the investing Holy Grail
Russ Mould of A J Bell looks at the housebuilders, hit by inflation, mortgage problems and dwindling demand with some cutting dividends. Pointing out the dangers of double-digit yielding shares, he wonders if the sector might be worth looking at soon. Although investors often go for growth or income, the Holy Grail, he says is a company that grows its dividend consistently, which will then produce both outcomes. How to find them? Do your homework with proper research.

The Business of Film: Living, All Quiet On The Western Front & Causeway
James Cameron-Wilson laments a box office falling another 34% (ahead of next week's Wakanda Forever). The Banshees of Inisherin is strong at #3 with over £6m while Living, with Bill Nighy, enters at #4. James (and Simon) adore the film and hope Nighy will finally get the Oscar recognition that has eluded him. On Netflix, James thinks the German remake of All Quiet On The Western Front is a masterpiece while he finds Causeway, on Apple+, full of wonderful performances, including that of Jennifer Lawrence.

The Bigger Picture: Gavin Williamson, Matt Hancock, Sunak & COP and US mid-terms
Political commentator Mike Indian discusses the bullying allegations against Gavin Williamson and asks if Parliament gets these things right. He also explains why Matt Hancock should not have gone into the jungle and, in the wake of his about-turn on COP27, suggests that Rishi Sunak needs to develop a persona of his own. With the US mid-terms still not finalised, he points out that the Republicans failing to do as well as expected may have an effect on Trump's comeback hopes.

The Financial Outlook for Personal Investors: US & UK interest rate rises & the latest from Sainsbury's
Richard Hunter, head of markets at Interactive Investor, updates Simon Rose on the latest 0.75% interest rate rises from the US Fed and the Bank of England's Monetary Policy Committee. As he explains, markets have reacted badly, more in response to the statements about the future, than to the rises themselves. He assesses Sainsbury's half-year numbers which show just how difficult times are for the supermarkets, with the discounters becoming ever more of a problem. Although the shares reacted positively, it is after a decline of around 30% over the last year.
